Tempe bathrooms, remodeled from the ground up

Many Tempe homes still have original or once-updated bathrooms from decades ago: small footprints, colored tile, tub-shower combos and little ventilation. Some have just one full bath for the whole house.

A full bathroom remodel replaces everything: tile shower or new tub, vanity and top, flooring, fixtures, lighting, fan and paint. Where it fits, we can also make better use of the space or add storage.

We completed a full home remodel in Tempe in 2018. The home pictured above is one of our Tempe projects.

Local know-how

What Tempe bathrooms need

Down to the studs

Older baths often hide worn supply lines and drains. Opening the walls lets us replace them while everything is accessible.

Small-bath layouts

Smart vanity sizing, niches and glass make compact mid-century bathrooms feel larger.

Ventilation

Many older baths have little or no exhaust. A properly sized fan protects the new finishes.

Planning

Planning a bathroom remodel in Tempe

Many Tempe homes still have original or once-updated bathrooms with colored tile, small showers and limited ventilation. A full bathroom remodel takes the room down to the studs, replaces older supply lines and drains, adds proper waterproofing and builds a new shower or tub, vanity, tile floor and lighting.

Compact mid-century bathrooms benefit from smart planning: a frameless glass panel instead of a curtain, a right-sized vanity, recessed niches and large-format tile make a small room feel more open.

Every bathroom remodel starts with a free in-home estimate. We walk the space with you, measure, talk through layout, materials and budget, and then give you a clear written quote. Once you approve it, we order materials, schedule the work and keep you updated until the final walkthrough.

FAQ

Bathroom remodeling in Tempe: questions

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Tempe?
Replacing cabinets, counters, tile, fixtures and paint usually doesn’t need a permit. Moving plumbing, gas, electrical or walls generally does, through the City of Tempe. We’ll tell you what your bathroom remodel needs during the free in-home estimate.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Tempe?
It depends on the size of the bathroom, whether the layout changes, and the materials you choose, especially tile, the shower and the vanity. Every Tempe project is priced individually: the in-home estimate is free, and you get the exact price in a written quote before any work starts.
Can you remove a wall in a block or brick ranch home?
Often, yes, but it depends on whether the wall is load-bearing and what runs through it. Masonry homes need careful planning. We’ll look at it during the in-home estimate.
Do you work near ASU and in The Lakes?
Yes. We serve all of Tempe, including Maple-Ash, Mitchell Park, Daley Park, Broadmor, Lakeshore, The Lakes and south Tempe.
Do you remodel rental homes near ASU?
Yes. We remodel rental and investment homes and can recommend finishes that are durable, easy to clean and good-looking for tenants.
Should I remodel my Tempe home or move?
With so little new housing in Tempe, many owners find a remodel gives them the home they want without leaving their neighborhood. We can help you understand what a full remodel of your house would involve.
